I have a git repository that has the file structure of /react-projects/programming-todo-list/programming-todo-list/*
I want to delete the upper directories /react-projects/programming-todo-list so that it ends up looking like this : programming-todo-list/*
Is there a way to delete the upper directories without deleting the children directories?
git mv programming-todo-list ../.. is enough if you don't want to impact your past commits (which would still display programming-todo-list in its former place).
If you can rewrite the history of your repository, then git filter-repo (Python-based, to be installed first) is the right tool, using path-based filtering:
git filter-repo --path-rename react-projects/programming-todo-list/programming-todo-list:programming-todo-list
